2D ultrasound scans produce flat black and white images that show the baby’s skeletons and internal organs. It is a very important imaging modality to monitor your baby’s growth and development as well as to identify any potential anomalies.
However, the standard 2D scans can be disappointing to the expecting parents, when all you can see is the grey blurry outlines of the baby.
With further development of ultrasound technology, we can now have a better sneak peek at your baby in the womb.
What are 3D and 4D ultrasound scans?
3D image is produced by combining and reconstructing multiple 2D images. A 3D ultrasound scan can show a still picture of your baby in three dimensions, allowing you to see photo-like images of your baby’s face, hands and feet.
4D ultrasound scans produce life motion videos reconstructed from the 3D images, with time being the fourth dimension. 4D ultrasound allows you to see your baby’s movement inside the mother’s womb. You might get the chance to see your baby smiling, yawning or even moving his or her hands inside the womb.
3D and 4D ultrasound scans can provide an extra value to your exciting pregnancy journey as you and your family can have a unique bonding experience with your bundle of joy while he or she is still inside the womb.

Imbasan ultrasound 2D menghasilkan imej hitam dan putih yang menunjukkan struktur rangka dan organ dalaman bayi. Ia merupakan modaliti pengimejan yang sangat penting untuk memantau pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bayi anda serta untuk mengenal pasti sebarang potensi anomali.
Walau bagaimanapun, imbasan 2D yang biasa ada kalanya boleh mengecewakan bakal ibu bapa, apabila anda hanya boleh melihat gambaran kelabu kabur bayi anda dari imej 2D yang dihasilkan.
Dengan perkembangan teknologi ultrasound sekarang, kini kita sudah boleh meninjau bayi anda di dalam kandungan dengan lebih baik melalui imbasan ultrasound 3D dan 4D.
Apakah imbasan ultrasound 3D dan 4D?
Imej 3D dibentuk melalui pembinaan semula imej dari hasil gabungan imej-imej 2D. Imbasan ultrasound 3D boleh menunjukkan gambar pegun bayi anda dalam tiga dimensi yang membolehkan anda melihat bentuk muka, tangan dan kaki bayi anda seperti gambar fotografi.
Imbasan ultrasound 4D pula menghasilkan video pergerakan semasa yang dibina semula daripada imej-imej 3D, dengan masa sebagai dimensi keempat. Imbasan ultrasound 4D membolehkan anda melihat aksi bayi anda di dalam rahim ibu. Anda mungkin berpeluang melihat bayi anda tersenyum, menguap atau bahkan menggerakkan tangannya di dalam rahim.
Imbasan ultrasound 3D dan 4D boleh memberikan pengalaman unik kepada perjalanan kehamilan anda.
